Zathoth Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I thought of a horrifying way for the human race to go extinct. What if, for reasons unknown, every single homo sapiens lost all of their fingers? Despite all of our fantastic tools, we still rely on these wonderful prehensile digits for innumerable tasks necessary for our survival. 7 billion people would die, impotent, regardless of their resources or health in other areas. What a terrible way to go. It is very interesting how ten little digits amounts to almost all of humanities supposed greatness, isnt it? We couldnt even build something to replace them with without them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Ao4t_fe0I On a completely different note Ghost are great. On a third completely different note would it be arrogant to write a horror story with myself as the monster?

Nope...espcially if it has a dash of dark humour and comedy 1
Zathoth Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 1. It could be worse if we had no toes to go with no fingers 2. I'll gander later 3. Nope...espcially if it has a dash of dark humour and comedy 1. Oh yes, people seem to do well with just toes; storms, some do well with just having a mouth. 3. I often find that comedy dilutes the horror too much, of course the line between comedy and horror is thinner than most think, so I could just try to walk that.

Zathoth Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Ergo, dark humour True, true XD I love dark humour. It is just that the right mix is so hard to find. I think the right mix is when the laugh gets stuck and you can just think of how disturbing it was.

Mistrunner Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Thou art a wise child. Thanks forum mother This is literally the best forum exchange I've ever seen Also, if Kaymyth is forum mom, who's forum dad? I think Twi and Kobold are like the oldest siblings, and the rest of you are like siblings and cousins and that really smart friend and that really awesome friend who does dumb things with you but in an awesome way. We need a 17th Shard Camp. We can geek out about books, watch movies (with plenty of couch space for you, Twi) and play games, all at a beautiful cabin in the mountains. ...or just keep posting back and forth on Random Stuff. 4

I believe a while back that we established that I was the forum mom, and Twi is my younger sister (not really but totally), making her the Fun Forum Aunt. I'm still clamoring to get people to Kansas City for WorldCon next year, but I know it's one of the more expensive cons. That makes it hard. 1

Seonid he/him Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Crap, Crap, Crap, that was not an intentional downvote! Can someone fix that? And shoot me for browsing the forum on mobile again?

Delightful Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I thought Twi was the awesome forum older sister. AFOS? Edit: that makes kaymyth as Forum Mum also the fm radio station. Edited September 27, 2015 by Delightful 3
